Ingredients
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 small red chili pepper chopped finely
- ½ tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- ¾ cup tomato diced
- 1 cup eggplant diced
- ¾ cup zucchini diced
- 2 tbsp tamari
- 10 oz tofu crumbled, extra firm
- 1 cup vegetable broth stock
- 10 oz pasta gluten-free
- ¼ cup vegan cheese grated (optional)
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Add the onion, garlic, red chilli, curry powder, cumin, smoked paprika and tomato paste to a non-stick frying pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened. If you want to, you can use olive oil, coconut oil or vegan butter for sautéing.
- Add the tomatoes, eggplant and zucchini. Stir through to combine everything, then add the tamari and tofu. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Add the tamari, tofu and veggie broth. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes, until most of the liquid had evaporated. You can also use this time to cook your chosen pasta.
- Add the vegan cheese to the sauce if using and season to taste with salt.
- Drain and rinse the pasta. Transfer it to the frying pan and toss together with the sauce using a pair of kitchen tongs before serving.
